“Do you also think Fishbein’s responsible if your kid sneaks alchohol from your cabinet before going to an event?”
NO, I do NOT, but he does.
The school will discipline students who don’t behave according to the school’s “standard of conduct” even if the child (not student) acts off school property, after school hours.
This is the twisted world we live in.

That said, Fishbein SHOULD NOT PRETEND to be transparent and dispel rumors when he does not (and cannot) disseminate any tangible information about the incident. But he is too busy patting himself on the back, being pious and covering his behind. He is more interested in guilt spreading and punishing the 99% innocent children who WERE NOT at the fights and DID NOT have any knowledge of the incidents until after the fact by forcing useless “witness training” on them. Instead, he should JUST address the guilty.
No “witness reeducation training” assembly is necessary. If he feels compelled to have an assembly, it could just identifying the bad actors for all of their peers to see.
